The Hurry Up is your nightly dose of updates from the Ohio State football recruiting trail, keeping tabs on the latest from commits and targets from around the country.
100 PERCENT HEALTHY AND 100 PERCENT COMMITTED
Ohio State commit Antjuan Simmons has been hampered by a sprained ankle for much of the season, but returned to full strength for Ann Arbor, Michigan, Pioneer's 26-12 win over Lincoln on Friday night.
As mentioned in this morning's edition of the Select '17 Tracker, the 6-foot-1, 205-pounder rushed for 159 yards and one touchdown, and could have topped 225 yards if two scores weren't called back.
There has been a lot of unjust speculation surrounding Simmons' pledge in recent months, as Ohio State continues to recruit fellow linebackers Baron Browning and Anthony Hines. The concern seems to be Ohio State not having enough room to fit all three in the current class, but Simmons has repeatedly shot down those suggestions.
Browning and Hines are set to announce their decision on Nov. 29, though it's unclear if they'll do so jointly. All that said, it's purely coincidence that Simmons will take his official visit to Ohio State shortly thereafter.
"It's gonna be sometime in December or January," he told Eleven Warriors. "I'm not 110 percent sure yet."
Despite the fact that his high school sits less than one mile away from The Big House, Simmons committed to Ohio State in March over offers from 40 other schools including Michigan.
BEST OF THE 757
With Simmons the only linebacker committed to the current class, Ohio State already started keeping tabs on Virginia Beach, Virginia, Bishop Sullivan's Teradja Mitchell for the following cycle.
"I talk to [head coach] Urban Meyer, [wide receivers coach] Zach Smith and [defensive coordinator] Luke Fickell a lot," Mitchell told Land of 10.
The Buckeyes offered the 6-foot-2, 225-pounder in May 2015, but he hasn't made the roughly eight-hour trip to Columbus in the year and a half since. Mitchell has visited Clemson, Florida State, Georgia, North Carolina and West Virginia in the meantime.
"I'm trying to visit [Ohio State]," he said. "It looks like November or December."
YOU AND ME BOTH
Huber Heights Wayne defensive end Alex Reigelsperger announced on Twitter he'll take an unofficial visit to Penn State for the annual "White Out" game against Ohio State.

"I can't wait," Reigelsperger told Eleven Warriors. "It'll be really like my second or third time where [two teams recruiting me play each other]. It really just makes the game more interesting, more fun and puts you more into it."
Just two weeks ago, the 6-foot-2, 235-pounder was at Ohio State's game against Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights are one of seven offers for Reigelsperger, who has also received significant interest from the Buckeyes.
"[Defensive line coach Larry Johnson] says we'll talk about an offer after they finish the season," he said.
Reigelsperger most recently visited Notre Dame, but is already looking forward to his second trip to Ohio State this year.
"I'm going up again soon for the Michigan game," he said.
STEALING ANOTHER FROM STATE UP NORTH?
Belleville, Michigan, two-way lineman Devontae Dobbs has been eyeing a return trip to Ohio Stadium since he earned an offer during Friday Night Lights and finally made his way back to Columbus for last weekend's game against Indiana.
"It was good," Dobbs told Eleven Warriors, noting the highlight was sitting next to Joey and Nick Bosa's mom, Cheryl. "It was my first game there."
The 6-foot-5, 270-pound sophomore is considered the top-rated player in the state for the Class of 2019. He currently holds 12 offers from programs such as Auburn, Florida, Michigan, Michigan State and Tennessee.
"At the moment, all schools are neutral," Dobbs said. "I want to keep my options open."
